We loved our short stay here. Its the most beautiful setting amongst the vineyards. The staff were SUPER lovely and very accommodating. It was perfectly situated for our daily visits to wine producers and to discover the piedmont region. We would have wonderful days out and then look forward to retiring to our beautiful hotel for the evening. Loved everything about the stay :-) Breakfast was generous and delicious.

Located just a few minutes drive from Alba and within a working vineyard, Cascina Baràc is a beautiful farmhouse with magnificent gardens and outdoor facilities that permit guests to take advantage of the setting. Receptionists Viviana and Katia were helpful. Breakfast was good. Our room was a little small but very clean. Inevitably, due to the type of construction, some noise is transmitted from adjoining rooms but overall this is a very tranquil place. Food platters can be ordered in advance, otherwise you can elect to simply relax with a glass of wine. As a base for the exploration of the Langhe region, it would be hard to beat. The gift on departure of a bottle of their wine was greatly appreciated.

100% Verified Reviews

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com.

눉That we were unable to eat at Cascina Barac our second night because the restaurant was closed.
Our room was spacious and clean, but could be easily improved upon with a little effort...little things that would add warmth. The air conditioning was wonderful.

눇The staff were all very friendly. The wines really brought us back. This is a very young winery that we visited last year. Despite being such a recent entry into the very competitive and crowded group of vintners in Piemonte, they are producing wonderful wines. We did a pairing of four of their wines with our dinner. Each wine was very enjoyable. Their Barbaresco and Barolo selections were very impressive. The Moscato from Cascina Barac is what really brought us back. We have tasted some very special dessert wines over the years and have a great selection of these in our personal collection. The Moscato produced by Cascina Barac did not disappoint us this year. We purchased four cases and would have increased that number but we were limited by the space in our little convertible.
Another amazing experience was the food. We remembered it was good last year, but this year the food really amazed us. We wanted to eat there the second night of our stay, but unfortunately the restaurant was closed. We've eaten at some very special restaurants in the area, and this time we tried eating at a very famous Michelin starred restaurant. What a disappointment compared to our dinner the previous evening at Cascina Barac!!! The food, wine and service were all better at Cascina Barac!!!

눉The lady at the the reception was rude. She had this constant look on her face as if she is dooing us a favor when responding to our questions. This is not a typical Italian hospitality you expect at a village B&B. The restaurant was closed two out of three days and the receptionist encouraged us to eat in town

눉The place was really nice, but still I'm going to be critical about it.
Room: The room, specially the Bathroom was very small. Shower - tiny or even smaller than Japanese.
Breakfast: good coffee, can choose fresh fruit, white and dark bread, prosciutto and raw meat as 3 tipes of cheese, local products.
The croissants and bakeries weren't fresh baked and juices are from the box. Otherwise generally ok (for me wasn't the best breakfast but as i said i wasn't allowed to have unpasteurized products or raw meat). For the room price - they could offer a bit more.

눇The place is breathtaking! The views from the standard room is also nice, of course its on the back - parking lot - but still you see the vineyards and Treiso.
The staff was really helpful, specially Viviana. Their own wine is good. The garden is beautiful and well kept. The place is close to Alba but still on the country side. We found it useful for our day trips.
They offered a good option for dinner as I wasn't able to eat raw diary / meat / egg products. They took care of us very well.
Dinner had fair prices and their recommendations (Treiso - trattoria / osteria Italia / Alba- osteria del Arco) were always delicious.
Make sure you book dinner before midday otherwise have to go somewhere else for dinner.
